oh well... there's the answer about more complicated emoticons... they don't convert. |

Fiona wandered into the Upper V common room at around 4:30, casually brushing a slight smattering of dirt from her otherwise pristine white kid gloves with a thoughtlessly elegant gesture. Tuesday was her day for what the team euphemistically referred to as ‘gardening duties’. |

Intriguing story marg! I can't imagine what those girls are up to... and I suspect that maybe it'd be best to never find out! |

Behold, the crooked path to perdition winding yonder. Elegant indeed may appear its verdant blooming borders to the untrained eye, luscious its scent to the innocent nose and sweet its music to the unwary ear; and yes, heartbreakingly lovely may be that violet haze shrouding the far horizon. Ah, but good luck, you'll need it, if you trust in nature alone to lead you through this life to the next. Surely you'll need all the good fortune and guidance you hope emanates from whatever sunrises, storms, serpents or sacred groves you worship, if you mean to follow your cravings for pure sensation towards whatever realm awaits you beyond. |

I didn't even know why I was writing this, then while finishing up remembered I spent the past few days at funerals for two people who died at ages exactly a century apart, one a hundred years and three months, one just three months...while I was feeling haunted by another death anniversary... and then today a friend visited whose life revolves around his dying daughter... I've been soaking up sermons and hymns about how we must let our faith grow ever stronger and more unquestioning in the face of such mysteries. What I left out was the genuine love and warmth and hope in that message... or rather, in the messengers' voices... The revivalist-fundamentalist black lady preacher at the baby's service was describing how God makes this earth ever more beautiful and wise and wonderful in spite of all these harrowing events along the way, which is an observation that's borne out by the fossil record (the word "evolution" being more or less interchangeable with "God")... so this harsh caricature I wrote here unfairly distorts and diminishes the basic idea, which isn't really about rejecting nature but accepting nature... |

Great story, Marg! If girl's boarding schools are surrounded by barbed wire and machine guns where you come from, it makes perfect sense. (Likewise if high-security prisons for juvenile female offenders are run like girls' boarding schools.) |

That was a reply to Marg's suggestion several messages back. Didn't look too magical to me, but maybe that's just my faithlessness at work... |

I guess I'm no closer to sharing in the joys of happy-face magic than I am to joining in any other kind of faith... some of us just can't learn... maybe that's enough for one night. See y'all later. Happy judging, mum. |
